Leftover Turkey Mexican Casserole
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 cups shredded cooked turkey
  • 2 cups salsa, divided
  • 1 (15 ounce) can sweet corn, drained
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided
  • 3 cups crushed tortilla chips
Instructions
1
Heat a generous amount of oil in a substantial skillet over an elevated heat setting. Introduce the onion, cumin, salt, and pepper into the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes tender, taking approximately 5 minutes to achieve this state. Next, add black beans, shredded turkey, a full cup of salsa, corn, water, and taco seasoning to the skillet. Combine these ingredients thoroughly.
2
Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
3
Combine the remaining cup of salsa with cooked rice and spread it evenly across the base of an uncoated 10x15-inch baking dish. Pour the turkey mixture over the rice layer, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
4
Layer a full cup of Cheddar cheese over the turkey mixture. Add tortilla chips on top, covering them loosely with aluminum foil.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and add the remaining cup of Cheddar cheese on top, allowing it to melt further. Continue baking until the cheese is fully melted and has achieved a desired consistency, approximately 5 minutes more.
